CABINET NOTES – The Cabinet held discussions about the effects of Tropical Storm Phillipe on Antigua and Barbuda. First, it dumped more than 8 inches of rain in Antigua and caused many dams and reservoirs to fill up.
Potworks Dam, capable of holding 1.2 billion gallons of water, is about one-third (1/3) full; with daily extractions, the stored water will last more than 3 months.
The Minister of Public Utilities noted that the Fort James R/O plant, The Crabbs R/O plant, The Ivan Rodriguez R/O plant, The Ffryes R/O plant, Pigeon Point R/O plant and Camp Blizzard R/O plant, Big Creek and Potworks Dam will be capable of producing nearly 9 million Gallons daily.
It is estimated that demand for APUA water will fall below 8 Million gallon daily. APUA will not be rationing water after the soil in the run-off settles. More rain is expected from another tropical storm which is forming in the open Atlantic.
